Lyrics

HOOK

(Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up)
The world is ours for the taking
Please just ignore all these haters
We already know they fakers
(Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up)
We just tryna be an inspiration
People feeling like it’s population
But we represent a new nation

VERSE 1

I pay stakes for the humble
I pay stakes for the summer
You show me a artist that grind harder
Tell them make way for the thunder
I did grace for the slumber
Reporting live from the jungle
It’s six ways for a quick fade
Think you sensei, you can cut it
Now who’s ready for the shot now
Who game heavy when the block now
The chain heavy slow the cops down
Up in my scalp with the top down
Been a big deal since I hopped out
Never did chill with them start nows
What you keep your brain think I lost count
Since the last time that y’all clocked out
Yeah I’m young but been about my business
Some how, paid attention
I know certain settings make the vision bigger
No permission, rather ask forgiveness
Cause the squad is cooking on the mission
When it’s warm pack an ammunition
I was wishing for a proper vision
Yeah, it’s getting real ya’ll, pay attention

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

We don’t have no time for waiting
Cause waiting’s just a waste of our time
Time to tap into our greatness
And get ready for the great awakening

⸻

HOOK

(Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up)

Please just ignore all these haters

We just tryna be an inspiration

But we represent a new nation

VERSE 2

Hope you’re woke now for the biggest
And it’s goin down in your city
Catching hell now, put a nail down
We expose clowns when we ain’t with it
It’s twelve rounds go the distance
You see when these clowns get to switching?
While we tryna keep it civil
Like they can’t get the business
Now they acting for the part now
They say charge them double cause I’m hot now
See the crew we raisin the stocks now
Catch us downtown with the top down
Now the critics stepping out the box now
Catch me back for seconds at the pot now
I’ve been in it for the sake of business
Witness how I start slowin the clock down now
Can I get my bang on
While I put my team on
While running this league home
It’s a league zone here in beast mode
Might be young but been about the business
Somehow I paid attention
But certain settings make the vision bigger
No permission, rather ask forgiveness
Cause the squad is cooking on the mission
When it’s warm pack an ammunition
I was wishing for a proper vision
Yeah, it’s getting real ya’ll, pay attention

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

We don’t have no time for waiting
Cause waiting’s just a waste of our time
Time to tap into our greatness
And get ready for the great awakening

BRIDGE

We been sleeping on the power we already carry
Now the future in our hands and the weight ain’t even scary
When you answer your calling, just know it ain’t ordinary
Gotta rise to the rise, make history and be legendary
Yeah we breaking all the limits that they put on our name
Woke up to a revelation when we walk unchained
If fear tries to press us, we gon’ push through the pain
Cause a mind that’s awakened ain’t the same, it just can’t stay the same

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

We don’t have no time for waiting
Cause waiting’s just a waste of our time
Time to tap into our greatness
And get ready for the great awakening

It’s time to wake up the nation
It’s time wake up the dreamers
It’s time to wake up our people
It’s time that we become the leaders
It’s time that we follow the vision
It’s time that awareness is risen
It’s time that we get on our mission
It’s time for the great awakening

It’s time wake up the dreamers
It’s time to wake up our people

It’s time that we get on our mission
It’s time for the great awakening
